Transition to an EV With Diablo Subaru of Walnut Creek

The first-ever electric Subaru SUV, the Subaru Solterra, is finally here, which makes it the opportune moment for Subaru drivers to trade out their old gas-powered vehicles for an electrified one. With a team of experts on hand waiting to help answer your EV questions and a variety of models to test drive and tinker with in our showroom, a Subaru EV is not only sustainable but accessible, too.

EV ownership brings plenty of benefits to Contra Costa County drivers. Thanks to the relative simplicity of an electric battery and motor drivetrain, they're less maintenance-intensive than gas-powered cars. EVs offer a silent cabin while driving, providing a more luxurious driving experience. Zero emissions and instant torque are further benefits of EV driving.

If you're new to electric vehicles or unsure that one fits your budget or lifestyle, don't worry. Our team can give you the knowledge and insight that allows you to explore Interstate 680 and Mt. Diablo State Park in style with an EV. Make the transition to all-electric driving today with Diablo Subaru of Walnut Creek.

Charging Your New EV

The biggest difference between your gas-powered Subaru vehicle and the Subaru Solterra EV is charging. Instead of visiting a gas station regularly, Walnut Creek drivers will simply plug in their vehicles when they need to add range to the vehicle. Although there is a shocking variety of different charging methods, it's astonishingly simple.

Each Subaru EV comes with a Level 1 charging cable, which can plug directly into any outlet in your home. While it might seem like the easiest option, 120-volt charging can take a while, only replenishing between 2 and 4 miles of range per hour. Of course, it might be all you need for occasional errands around town if you don't drive a lot.

Level 2 charging, or 240-volt charging, is the most common way EV drivers charge their vehicles. It's much quicker than Level 1 charging, replenishing between 12 and 30 miles of range per hour. Drivers can plug into any 240-volt outlet – like one used for a dryer or washing machine – and charge away. A charging station is required, and Diablo Subaru of Walnut Creek can help you find an installer near you.

Level 3 and DC charging are the fastest ways to add range to your EV. The Solterra can charge from 10 to 80 percent in just 35 minutes on a DC charger, making it perfect for road trips on CA Route 242 or those in a rush. Most public charging stations are Level 2 or Level 3 chargers – but it's important to verify before you make plans that depend on utilizing the public charging network.
